GPT fdisk (aka gdisk) by Roderick W. Smith, rodsmith@rodsbooks.com This software is intended as a (somewhat) fdisk-workalike program for GPT-partitioned disks. Specific advantages of gdisk, cgdisk and sgdisk include: * Edit GUID partition table (GPT) definitions in Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS X, or Windows * Convert MBR to GPT or back without data loss * Convert BSD disklabels to GPT without data loss * Create hybrid MBR, which permits GPT-unaware OSes to access up to three GPT partitions on the disk * Repair damaged GPT data structures * The ability to specify sector-exact partition sizes * Clear identification of the number of unallocated sectors on a disk http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/

A user-space utility for testing the memory subsystem for faults. It is portable and should compile and work on any 32- or 64-bit Unix-like system. (Yes, even weird, proprietary Unices, and even Mac OS X.) For hardware developers, memtester can be told to test memory starting at a particular physical address as of memtester version 4.1.0. The original source was by Simon Kirby <sim@stormix.com>. The program has been rewritten by Charles Cazabon and many additional tests were added to help catch borderline memory. He also rewrote the original tests (which catch mainly memory bits which are stuck permanently high or low) so that they run approximately an order of magnitude faster.

nvramtool is a utility for reading/writing coreboot parameters and displaying information from the coreboot table. It is intended for x86-based systems (both 32-bit and 64-bit) that use coreboot. The coreboot table resides in low physical memory, and may be accessed through the /dev/mem interface. It is created at boot time by coreboot, and contains various system information such as the type of mainboard in use. It specifies locations in the CMOS (nonvolatile RAM) where the coreboot parameters are stored. For information about coreboot, see http://www.coreboot.org/.

mcelog processes machine checks (in particular memory and CPU hardware errors) on modern x86-based Unix systems and produces human-readable output. This software is heavily patched to work on FreeBSD systems, and thus provides an extremely limited subset of features as of this writing (for example, daemon mode is not currently supported). The primary purpose is to provide a way to decode MCE output from the FreeBSD kernel into something more human-readable using the command 'mcelog --no-dmi --ascii'. FreeBSD conversion patches were originally written by John Baldwin <jhb@freebsd.org> and later incorporated into this port.

volman is a FreeBSD specific volume manager. It acts as a translator of devd(8) events, probing storage devices for their file system information, and serving this over a FIFO based API to which clients can subscribe. In addition to notifying clients of new or lost volumes, it will mount and unmount such volumes at the command of subscribing clients. It runs as root and allows any local clients the ability to mount and unmount volumes which are detected, regardless of any user privileges. This is intended for single user X11 systems needing an easy way of accessing USB flash disks on the fly.

Eqe is a simple clone of the excellent LaTeX equation editor you can find on MacOS X. There's a zone to type LaTeX input, and it generates an image to represent it (color, font, and size are customisable). You can drag the image to other applications (like OpenOffice.org Impress, Mozilla, the Gimp). It also exports to almost any image format, including PNG, JPEG, PDF...). It is free software, released under the GPL. It is composed of two parts: eqedit, which is a command line tool that generates images from LaTeX input, and eqe which wraps eqedit into a graphical user interface.

This is mgdiff, a graphical front end to the UNIX diff command based upon X11R[456] and the Motif widget set. It allows the user to select two files for comparison, runs the diff command, parses the output, and presents the results graphically. This presentation can also be used to generate a user-specified merge of the two files into a third file. This program's appearance is based upon a program called gdiff, which runs only on Silicon Graphics workstations and for which source code is not provided.

AsmXml is a very fast XML parser and decoder for x86 platforms. It achieves high speed by using the following features: * Support of an XML subset only * Written in pure assembler * Optimized memory accesses * Parsing and decoding at the same time This parser is intended for applications that need intensive processing of XML. This project will likely appeal you if XML parsing is a bottleneck in your data-flow. It is expecially designed for bulk loads into databases. This is not an all-purpose library, it is not designed to be used with DOM, SAX, XPath and so on. Here, XML is just considered as an interchange format, not as a working format.

Markdown is a text-to-HTML filter; it translates an easy-to-read and easy-to-write structured text format into HTML. Markdown's text format is most similar to that of plain text email, and supports features such as headers, *emphasis*, code blocks, blockquotes, and links. Markdown's syntax is designed not as a generic markup language, but specifically to serve as a front-end to (X)HTML. You can use span-level HTML tags anywhere in a Markdown document, and you can use block level HTML tags (like <div> and <table> as well).

OpenVanilla (OV) is an input method (IM)/output filter (OF) framework designed for better end-user text processing experiences. For example, OpenVanilla provides a comprehensive set of Traditional Chinese input methods that are lacking or of which counterparts are functionally deficient/unsatisfactory in Apple's Mac OS X. Many Simplified Chinese users also find this framework useful. A Tibetan IM module is also available. scim-openvanilla is an OpenVanilla loader as a SCIM IM engine that enables the input method modules of OpenVanilla to be used through SCIM.
